They managed to come up with an atypically complex and solid game that has pleased what has to be the whiniest, bitchiest audience in the History of gaming while at the same time remaining commercial enough to be a success in every modern gaming system. I for one am reserving the wall-punching and the Typhoon augs for such a playthrough.Īll in all, Eidos Montreal has definitely entered the very very exclusive club of developers that I'll be following closely in the next years. Theoretically it should be rather hard since you're missing on a lot of XP rewards by just shooting/exploding your way through, which should make it at least an interesting experiment. Interestingly enough, noone has reported on trying a shooter/lethal playthrough so far. I'm assuming some sort of open, cliffhangerish ending, but I guess I'll see soon enough. needless to say, I'm very intrigued about what can possibly bring such strongly dissenting opinions. You definitely have to watch the entire ending credits. I just beat the game and I love the endings (well, except that you choose them during the last ten seconds of the game). ![]() Without ruining anything, the endings suck. So far the only two people reporting beating the game are Adzuken. Then again, maybe I'm just spoiled in that regard for having played too much Bloodlines recently. All the philosophical counterpoints and the pseudo-History lessons and that fictional novel and all the Chesterton and all the Shakespeare and whatnot -nothing remotely as interesting has popped up in HR so far and I'm pretty certain it won't by now.Īll I read are this mind-numbing technical docs that do sound convincing and whatnot, but frankly I'm not interested in biology, robotics nor some kind of mixture of the two.Īnd teh funnies in HR are way too subtle for my taste - DX was also subtle, but I seem to remember getting a lot more of the references and jokes. The game is still loads of fun, mind (taking down an entire, fully-alerted and very busy platoon that's spread around a rather large, multi-tiered area while under a very very short time limit and without being seen once is surely rewarding), but indeed, after the second boss fight the game got a lot less challenging all of a sudden.Īlso another thing I don't think I mentioned is that I miss the intellectual-ish aspect of the original Deus Ex. He's also afraid that by the time he's halfway into the game he'll be way too overpowered, which is incidentally something that is happening to me right now. He still loves the game anyway (except, of course, the stupid boss fights). Vedder seems to have found a pretty serious, quest-killing bug which is said to be common on the internet, but noone else here at MG reported nothing like that, so there's that. Also he openly declares he likes Metal Gear Solid, so he's obviously wrong. ![]() ![]() Of course 雷堂承太朗 -raidō jōtarō- popped up with what he considers is an example of good Japanese-made stealth-involving boss fights, but I don't know the game he mentions so I can't say. I noticed that HR shares this particular sucking point with Alpha Protocol, and then I concluded they're both trying to bring in what has to be the stupidest aspect of the already stupid enough Metal Gear Solid series, so I blame the stupid boss fights on the entirety of Japan and their stupid ideas (frankly it's Obsidian's/Eidos' own fault for even thinking about implementing them, but screw that, I'm mad at the Japanese). Well, to sum it up, we're all digging it, but we're as in love with the gameplay in general as we're perplexed/infuriated by the boss fights.Īdzuken made a case for the boss fights (something some guy at ArsTechnica also tried), but he didn't manage to convince anyone -the boss fights suck ass.

![]() Marie Bonaparte went on to live a polymath life as a writer, translator, psychoanalyst, and pioneering sex researcher. Two years before the commissioned bust, Princess Marie had been united in an arranged marriage to Prince George of Greece and Denmark-a chilly partnership since George was in love with his uncle Waldemar. She was looking in the mirror all the time, even during lunch… discreetly placing the mirror on the table, looking furtive.” The sculptor hated bust sculpture, and spoke of the princess with disdain, saying “she had a beautiful bust, but ugly legs and was terribly vain. In 1909, Princess Marie Bonaparte, the great grand-niece of Napoleon, commissioned a bust from Brancusi. And my material is so beautiful, with its sinuous lines that shine like pure gold and sum up in a single archetype all the female effigies on Earth.”īig claims for a sculpture that looks like a giant dong.įor all Brancusi’s grand claims of archetypal womanhood, Princess X was a bust of a real woman, at least, sort of. Besides, it is such a pity to spoil a beautiful piece by digging out little holes for hair, eyes, ears. And at last I have, I believe, emerged triumphant and transcended the material. To express that entity, to bring back to the world of the senses that eternal type of ephemeral forms, I spent five years simplifying, honing my work. For indeed, what exactly is a woman? Buttons and bows, with a smile on her lips and paint on her cheeks…That’s not woman. “My statue is of woman, all women rolled into one, Goethe’s Eternal Feminine reduced to its essence … For five years I worked, I simplified, I made the material speak out and state the inexpressible. In an interview with the journalist Roger Dévigne, he claimed a more ambitious subject of the work: Brancusi was stunned, furious about the association. So tell me, dear reader, when you look at Princess X, do you see a portrait, or do you see a phallus? I think it’s fair to say that this bronze shaft arching over a pair of glossy ovoids and topped with a pendulous head couldn't look more like a penis if the artist had an advanced degree in male anatomy. But at the Salon, an impending visit from the Prime Minister saw curators begging Brancusi to remove Princess X, after all “you could not march the Minister past a pair of balls.” He felt, “like someone who’s been knocked senseless in the dark.” Brancusi’s bronze had been shown in New York at Society of Independent Artists and had caused no ruckus, though the display of a urnal on a pedestal had stolen a large portion of the lime light. Their spirit can be summoned using cores of Wanda and Princess Shokora.When Constantin Brancusi was asked to remove his sculpture Princess X from the Salon des Indépendants in Paris-he was shocked and devastated. Ultimate as an advanced-ranked support spirit, who their ability allows the fighter to start the battle equipped with a fairy bootle (a nod to how Bowser kidnapped them). The Sprixie Princesses appears in Super Smash Bros. The Green Sprixie Princess also appears as a playable character in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. Mario defeats him again and the Sprixies, Princesses, Commoner, and all, are freed once more. Bowser captures them again and uses their power to make his theme park. Red (Reese) is shown as scared in her stamp, but she may actually be a courageous, energetic tomboy.Īt the start of the game, the Sprixie Princesses are trapped in bottles but are freed when Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad (Super Mario Bros.), visits their planet via a clear pipe and breaks them out of their bottles.Cyan (Skye) seems to be scared and shy in her artwork, and she is portrayed as easily surprised in her stamp.Purple (Moana) seems to be contemplative and vanity in her stamp.She is also shown making a "wow" pose in her artwork. Orange (Pumkin) seems to be very cheery, exciting and happy-go-lucky in her stamp image.Blue (Crystal) seems to get short-tempered and a headstrong tomboy-ish her stamp and artwork, but in-game she is more cheery and graceful.But she is intelligent, confident and brave. In her artwork, she appears to be flirty, but cheerful. Yellow (Honey) seems to have fits of sadness and depressed in her stamp image, yet deep down inside.Clover seems to be more of a protective parent towards her sisters. The Green one (Clover) seems to be more of a leader. She is peppy, bright, curious and open to new faces.Their personality can be extrapolated from stamps and birth from oldest to youngest. While little is known about their personality as few of them actually talk, the Sprixie Princesses are known to be good and kind characters. ![]() Of course, I shouldn’t assume you have LR or PS.

And I will discuss the browser's most horrible user experience miscarriage, its "tabs on top" functionality, in just a bit.Īpple is hiding the Safari menu bar by default, a curiously IE-like move that hides some needed functionality. Apple oddly claims that the Safari 4 title bar and toolbar are native as well, but that's clearly not the case. This time around, Safari utilizes native Windows-style window borders and semi-native window control buttons (Minimize, Maximize/Restore, and Close) on both Windows XP and Vista (and 7). Native Windows look and feelĪpple says that Safari 4 looks more like a Windows application than its predecessors, and while that's certainly true enough, the bar was pretty low. Safari 4 shares some DNA, and some user interface elements, with Google Chrome. (Previous versions looked like an OS X app.) It's "the world's fastest, most efficient, and most innovative" browser, according to the humble folks in Cupertino, and they're even touting its "new Windows-native look," which, as anyone who's used the browser will tell you, is long overdue. Of course, Apple being Apple, they are promoting Safari 4 as if it were the second coming. ![]() Safari 4, like its predecessors, is just a horrible Windows application. I just wish Apple could get the basics right on Windows. And that's too bad, because the underlying Web rendering technology utilized by Safari-WebKit-has a better than average chance of becoming the technology layer through which most of us access the Web and cloud-based services of the future. But as an Apple product, it's also uniquely unsuitable for Windows users. As an Apple product, it's immediately interesting of course.
